2024 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

[Jason14h]

It actually makes more sense to keep Vlad and trade the pitchers. Vlad will attract fans during a rebuild and you prob get more assets for the pitchers right now

Plus Vlad could Always eventually figure it out while the pitchers will get older and potentially more injured

[Roof-Daddy]

Vlad will probably have a 5+ WAR season in there somewhere, but IMO he'll never figure it out. The IQ is not there.

Since April 27th when Vlads OPS bottomed out at .643 he's actually been pretty damn good. A slash line of .312/.380/.447. You'd still like to see some more power but his launch angle is improving significantly and he's hitting a lot more line drives. I'd like to keep him around because he still shows signs of being that superstar that we thought in 2021. Bo is an interesting one to me. He might still demand a lot on name alone but I don't think his value could get any less than it is right now. He's been flat out awful this year. And one would think he couldnt get any worse. So maybe he's due for a second half rebound.

Playoffs are out of the question this year. So I think you sell off every FA with value and see what you have in the system. Maybe try for one last kick of the can next year with a new GM and Manager developing the talent around Bo and Vlad. If all else fails. You can still move Bo and Vlad next year for some decent return.

Springer apparently has among the very worst OPS% of all corner outfielders in 100 years…so I guess he should be in the middle of the batting order.

[KelVarnsen]

I want a Jays win and an Oilers loss tonight.

Probably not gonna get either one.

Houck has such a punchable looking face

Still only the 3rd worst of our regular players (Kirk and KK are both lower). Crazy this team has 3 regular players batting under .200

George into double play

Jays stringing together hits...Springer comes up...Instant rally killer. That dude is a defensive replacement late in games at best right now.

[flamingred89]

You hangy. They bangy.

[flamingred89]

Haha Springer.

Does SN+ not work in the US? Trying to stream the Jays game on my phone while the bar here plays the Florida game and the app is giving me a error...

No idea. But I find the app buggy at times. Perhaps they’re at capacity based on the hockey game.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

This guy's ERA is over 12? I'm sure he'll get a quick out here.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

omg they got a hit. Amazing.

[KelVarnsen]

I like this Horwitz fellow

[KootenayFlamesFan]

.............and now a clutch hit. Crazy.

Nope. Canada only, they don't have sports rights in the US.
